Sarah Sloane ran out of books to read so she wrote one for herself. It includes many of her favorite things: Marbles, animals, planets, moons, mysteries, plants, cemeteries, crazy people, instantaneous travel, and a whole other world connected to our world. The characters became real and started going off in all different directions to tell their own stories. Sideways, backward, and forward. This is why the stories can't all be labeled neatly, one, two, and three. Nevertheless, they all come from the world of the Marble Game.
